How to choose

Start with the wear occasion, because fabric decides everything else. A polo that lives on a retail floor eight hours a day needs a cotton-poly piqué around 200-220gsm — breathable, crease-resistant, washes clean. A weekend hoodie for a founder gift wants brushed-back fleece at 320gsm+ in combed or organic cotton — the hand-feel is what people notice when they unbox it. Retail tees live or die on fabric weight: 180gsm reads as promo, 220gsm reads as product, 240gsm reads as premium. Branding method is the second decision, and it's where the creative brief earns its keep. Embroidery is the most considered finish on polos, caps, jackets and workwear — tone-on-tone thread on a dark fleece reads as quiet luxury, a contrast thread reads as team kit. Screen print is the cleanest way to carry a bold logo on cotton tees and suits runs from 50 upward. DTG (direct-to-garment) is how we handle full-colour, photographic or illustrated artwork on short runs without setup. Sublimation is for full-garment pattern work on rPET polyester — edge-to-edge, no cracking, no fade. Heat transfer vinyl handles names, numbers and small-run personalisation. Woven labels and debossed leather patches are the details that turn a tee into product. Sizing is where uniform rollouts live or die. Always order a size-run sample kit before committing to the full spec — fits vary meaningfully between brands, and the difference between a Euro-cut polo and an Australian-cut polo shows up on the floor. We carry inclusive sizing across most core lines (XS-5XL), dedicated women's fits on polos and tees, and youth sizes on T-shirts and hoodies for family and community briefs. On MOQ: decorated apparel typically starts at 25-50 per style and colour. Lower quantities are possible on stocked blanks with heat transfer or DTG. At 250+ per style, screen print and embroidery setup costs amortise and per-unit pricing drops 20-35%. Ask for a stepped quote across 50, 100, 250 and 500 — the right tier is usually clearer than it looks at brief stage. For sustainability-led briefs, we route to GOTS-certified organic cotton, rPET fleece made from recycled bottles, bamboo-cotton blends and OEKO-TEX tested dyes. FSC swing tags, recycled polybags and paper-based hang tags finish the story. Sustainability, done credibly — that's the standard we hold ourselves to. Finally, always see the sample. Free, Australia-wide, 48 hours from request. The brand team holds the weight, rubs the hand-feel, checks the stitch density — and the decision makes itself.
